Love Island fans have long suspected some of the contestants have been aware of Gemma Owen's famous dad's identity. They finally have proof that the boys have known for a long time - after a departing Islander confirmed they knew just a couple of days into the show starting.
Ikenna Ekwonna joined the ITV2 programme's sofa on Sunday night alongside Amber Beckford, after being voted off the dating show. During the interview, he revealed the boys had known about former professional footballer turned sports pundit, Michael Owen being Gemma's dad since the first week of being in the villa, The Mirror reports.
The news came when comedian Darren Harriott asked Ikenna: "You're a big football fan like me. What was it like getting a foot massage from Michael Owen's daughter?". The 23-year-old replied: "Do you know what's mad? We didn't really know until like the second or third day, but I don't think the girls knew that the guys knew."
